Loving your wife as Christ loves the church

While we are imperfect as husbands, God's love commands us to love our wives as Christ loves His, the church. Let us devote ourselves to the study of Christ together. As Dr. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones writes: "We must begin by studying Christ's relationship with the church, and then, only then, can we look at the relationship between husband and wife."

"Loving your wife as Christ loves the church is challenging, demanding, and instructive. It is challenging because it shows various ways in which we are not loving our wives; it is demanding because it presents us with the biblical standard for husbands; and it is instructive because Pastor McCall shows us how to mend our ways and where we can find the power to do so. Since we are all 'in process,' every husband will benefit from this book, no matter how long he has been married." -Jerry Bridges, speaker and author of The Pursuit of Holiness

"The command that a man should love his wife 'as Christ loved the church' is a true gem that shines like a diamond in Ephesians 5. McCall takes this diamond from the text and through clear and thorough exposition shows the various facets of what it means to love like Christ. Reading Loving Your Wife as Christ Loves the Church is a pleasure. McCall's love for Christ and for his wife is evident on every page." – Tedd Tripp, pastor and author of Shepherding a Child's Heart
